Parent Community
We warmly welcome and encourage parents to be an integral part of our school life.
At Far Hills Country Day School, we believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for the success and well-being of our students. Our school values the active involvement of parents in our vibrant school community.
Parent involvement enriches our students' educational experiences and fosters community. By participating in school activities, events, and committees, parents can make meaningful contributions and create lasting memories with their children. The Parents' Committee is an excellent way to engage with the Far Hills community. We encourage all parents to join and attend meetings, contribute their ideas, and participate in events.
The Parents' Committee, a volunteer group of dedicated parents, meets monthly to share information and plan events open to all Far Hills families. The committee fosters friendships, builds positive school spirit, nurtures communication between parents and the school, and assists with classroom and administrative needs as they arise. Working closely with school leadership, the Parents' Committee supports our mission, programs, and activities.
